Fawzi Sayeb in Memory of a Master

Fawzi Sayeb in Memory of a Master...., Fawzi Sayeb is also the master of silence on two accounts, whether through the long meditative long pauses that articulate his musical discourse, or through the fact that he has waited a few long years (he's over sixty years old now) before confiding to the disc a glimpse of his art. Born in Tunisia, Fawzi Sayeb plays on the lute-'ûd, the noblest instrument of Arab music, the taqsîm, an Arab oriental scholar music improvised in solo. He draws his inspiration from the Egyptian Nahda masters. But disappearance of the great masters leads him to rely on his intuition to recreate this demanding and austere art./Henry Lecomte.
(.An excellent live recording of Fawzi Sayeb at the First Festival of Maqam Music, held at the Lebanese University in 1999. He presents a beautiful selection of taqasim on various maqamat in his own unique style.(Master of music),
